The Ring Does Sometimes Come Off

I've heard of people being obsessive about their wedding rings, but this is ridiculous:

An x-ray of the lump [found on a newly admitted patient's finger] (Box 1, B) revealed a wedding ring totally encased in the soft tissue.

With extra-freaky x-ray & exam pictures. Yet another example of what can happen when mental illness strikes and nobody's around to help the victim get treatment.

but then again, I'm not schizo. today. probably.

I tend to picture wedding rings on the left hand, but maybe it signified a late spouse or something?
